The TVI Take
Alfonso Cuarón's 2001 road movie, written with brother Carlos, in which a class-divided Mexico is the third character. Cuarón uses an omniscient narrator to puncture the boys' inflated self-perception with documentary fact.
The political economy of who gets to come of age is the film's actual subject.
